Ruby

She’s our red brindle & white pit bull we adopted on Saturday from the county shelter. She was spayed on Monday, and we brought her home today.

She’s timid, a little unsure of people, but she warms up quickly. We hope to boost her confidence & give her a stable & happy forever home with us.

The shelter didn’t know much about her — she was a stray. They estimate her age to be between 7-9 months old. We gave her a birthday of September 30, 2011.

We named her Ruby because of her red markings. I wanted an old, classic name like Lucy or Olivia. The name Ruby has personal meaning for us, so it’s perfect. When I read it on my phone, Andrés & I knew that was her name.
